This ham, leeks and cheese filling is great to put inside the hot pockets / stuffed bread / Swedish pierogies dough. This filling is very flavorful and simply delicious, and all the ingredients work very well together.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.5 pound of cooked ham, diced
  • 1 small onion
  • 2 leeks, rinsed and diced
  • 8 oz cream cheese full fat
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 pound monterey jack cheese, shredded
  • 3 tbsp of fresh herbs, minced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 can black olives, chopped

Method:
Saute the tham, the onion and the leeks in a pan for about 10-15 minutes.

In a separate bowl, combine the cream cheese with the milk and break it up as well as you can. Add the shredded cheese, the herbs, the garlic, the salt and the pepper to this and make a cheese mix. Once the ham and the leeks are cooked a bit, add that as well as the olives. Mix everything together well, and use as a filling inside this dough.
